If Republican think we are done fighting for voting rights, fair districts and free and fair elections they are wrong.

Dems running for Congress and POTUS must run on Supreme Court reform. A law forcing justices into senior status after 18 years, applicable to the current bench would do the trick. That would force Roberts, Alito, and Thomas into senior status, opening three seats to be filled immediately. 1/

Think it's time to reform the Supreme Court?

Here's how.
